Washington. Pec. 13 \ broader
view of the problems of the Mississippi
river and its tributaries was urged
on the house flood control committee
by representatives of tho lower Mis
sissippi valley, who declared that they
were constantly being subjected to the
hazards of flood waters, notwithstand
ing that their districts did not con
tribute “a drop of water to the swol

One after another of the witnesses
before the committee insisted the
problem was one for the nation as
h whole. James K: lMinouds of New
Orleans saU that years ago the
slogan was “after the Panama canel.
the Mississippi river,” but that the
dream had never been realized.
Tin* witnesses* told the committee
«»£ the huge acreage of rich top soil
being carried away by the river, while
I at the same time the country was
draining marsh land and irrigating
arid lands to provide for tho fast
' growing population. At tho same
| time, they said, on enormous wastage
of w;l! r resources and transportation
possibilities was going on.
Great sums were being spent for
temporary work which should go into
a permanent program, they said, and

Farmers in W est
Plav Losing Game
w
Experts Say Freight Rate Re
duelioiis Would Assist in
Relieving Situation.
Washington. Dec. 13. — Farmers
have played a losing game in oroduc
ing grain and hay In the west during
the last two or three years, special
ists in farm economies testified before
the Interstate Commerce commission.
The estimates of the losses were
brought up by representatives (h
western states, who are seeking from
the commission reductions in railroad
freight rates on the agricultural
commodities named, and were given
by F. W. Feck, professor of farm
economies at the University of Minne
sota and C. I.. Holmes of the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment station.
In both these states careful cost
studies of the production of wheat,
oats, corn and hay justified the con
clusion, the witness said, that the
average farmer registered a net loss
in the two years of work. Itate re
ductiiuje, they contended. would assist
! m relieving the situation. .
II. L. Dennett, commissioner of cor
porations for Oklahoma, then gave an,
analysis of states from producing area
that ship to principal markets- All
these railroad charges, he declared,
were today far above levels of 1313,
while the prices the producer was re
ceiving for grains were practically
identical with 1913. The result, ho
said, was to intensify the farmers'
handicaps,
